Alone

http://onestoppoetry.com/
Free and chained,
your soul rises,
your soul falls.
You long to take a breath,
the taste of air brushing on your lips,
as the wind touches you.
Softly, lovingly,
seducing you,
to find the will to live.

    Finding the will to live; chained yet still inspired by life and nature. Very nicely done!

    How close freedom can be, and how I let myself be chained. Grateful for every wind, whisper or poem (!) that sparks the desire to live more fully and freely!

    sigh, i hope you find it...it can be as fleeting as a breeze...and anticipating those ups and downs helps me find it...

    We all find ourselves. No other way...

    Beautifully shared of the battle to find oneself, longing to go beyond the obvious.

    It's like swimming up from the deep, trying to break to the surface. Good poem.

    The wind does seduce us into wide open spaces... calls us to see things a bit more clearly out there. Heartfelt poem, thank you.

    This is so good. I found myself needing to take a deep breath as I read it. Guess you could say you drew the reader in!
